Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of the sun is 1.99 x 10^30 kg and its distance to the Earth is 1.50 x 10^11 m. ... Distance from the Earth to the Sun = 1.5 x 10^11 metres .... What is an equation that would determine the average distance of the earth from the sun based on the ... How did they calculate the distance between earth and the sun?

Answer 2

Question:

Find the gravitational force between the

Sun and the Earth.

Given Mass of the Sun = 1.99x1030 kg

Mass of the Earth = 5.98x1024 kg

The average distance between the Earth

and the Sun = 1.5x1011 m.

Answer:

We can use Newton’s law of universal gravitation.

Which is F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where the Force (F) will be in Newtons.

G is the “Universal Gravitational Constant”. G = 6.67 × 10^-11 N m^2 kg^-2

M1 is the first mass, the Sun. Mass of the Sun = 2 x 10^30 kg

M2 is the second mass, the Earth. Mass of the Earth = 6 x 10^24 kg

DR is the distance between the two objects. Distance from the Earth to the Sun = 1.5 x 10^11 metres

F = Gm1m2/r^2

F = G x 2 x 10^30 x 6 x 10^24/ [1.5 x 10^11] ^2 = 6.7 x 10^11 N
